I'm praying for those of you that are still waiting, expired or not. Within the last 20 days before expiration, I reached out to NILC, IRLC, Ombudsman, USCIS tier officer calls and emails. I even scheduled an infopass but got approved day before my appointment. Biggest advice? Be persistent in following up and using all resources available to help your case if you've been waiting pass 105-120 days. BEST advice? Learn from the wait. Learn that you can. Learn that you should lean on FAITH at times that we're challenged like this. Learn that you have communities like this that will hear you out and share your frustrations. Learn that no matter how bad it gets, the way out is coming and you'll come out stronger.

I'm praying for all of you, waiting or not. Hopefully, the next 2 years turns in our favor politically and we all never meet again under these circumstances.

Bless you all. Stay strong. Seek Him.
